From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Nov 11 2014 - 06:26:46 EST
3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 1ffde699aae127e7abdb98dbdedc2cc6a973a1a1 upstream.
This reverts commit aa11bbf3df026d6b1c6b528bef634fd9de7c2619.
This commit was causing connection issues and is not needed
if IWL_MVM_RS_RSSI_BASED_INIT_RATE is set to false by default.
Regardless of the issues mentioned above, this patch added the
following WARNING:
